1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe prevalence of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is increasing due to the aging population. SMR management is a complex disease because at least 2 pathologies are involved. SMR and severely reduced EF are independent risk factors for adverse outcomes. We present the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with dyspnea NYHA III. On echocardiography, a combination of SMR and DCM with EF of 20% were diagnosed. Indirect mitral annuloplasty after CRT-CSP was performed based on the patient's clinical profile and high surgical repair risk. The 3-month follow-up was uneventful. DISCUSSION: Mitral valve repair techniques in ventricular SMR with severely reduced EF are controversial due to ongoing debates about long-term repair durability in the setting of left ventricular remodeling. Percutaneous strategies are an alternative for high-risk surgical patients and their indication expanded for more complex anatomy and patient´s comorbidity.

conclusionIndirect mitral annuloplasty with the Carillion device in patients with CRT-CSP due to low EF and severe mitral regurgitation is feasible for the treatment of these combined pathologies and allows more physiological pacing and future M-TEER.
